Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress

This is a great portacrib mattress. I bought it because there have been some studies which suggest that SIDS deaths may be related to fire retardant chemicals in infant bedding and the lack of some newborns to process it well. This pad is firesafe through the use of a different, not so chemically laden process. In terms of what buyers said about the pad's thinness, newborns do not need the kind of thick mattresses that adults think of as more comfortable. (In fact, I once heard it put very well: In terms of SIDS safety, "If the mattress looks like it would be comfortable for you, no newborn should be going anywhere near it!") The comfort comes in whatever soft, lovely, tight-fitting material you lay over it. I used the chenille sheets by American Baby Company although for said reasons, I wished I could find something truly organic (not just an organic surface as I saw with some products). I was impressed with the pad it looks and feels very well made, and I don't know how on earth they got an all-cotton surface to be waterproof, but it feels remarkably impermeable without sacrificing comfort. The pad is very firm, more so than many other baby matress thingies the other reviewer should have nothing to fear. The only concern I think people should have with the thickness of the mattress is that you need to make sure your sheets which may be designed with a thicker mattress in mind don't bunch up and become a crumply surface the baby could slide around in too much. If you run into such a problem, safety pin the corners of the sheet's underside together to make it tighter on top.

I really love that this product is organic. It seems to be very comfortable as well. However, I really wish that the portacrib mattress was really a mattress, and not just a pad. My only worry is that it won't last through the 11 months I plan on using the portacrib. Overall, I'm pleased with this product. I also really like the mattress pad by Naturepedic too. I did a lot of research on portacrib mattresses and I feel this is by far the best option! I think that you'll like it if you know that it's just a 2" pad (but a very sturdy and good quality one!).

Buy Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress Now

I bought this for our mini crib and it fits nice and snug. The "mattress" that came with the mini crib was just a cheap 1.5-inch foam pad surrounded in plastic. It smelled bad and we threw it away. Our baby sleeps great on the naturepedic mattress and I sleep well knowing that he is safe and not breathing in toxic fumes. The price is great, too! We loved it so much, we bought a second one for our pack'n'play since the mattress in that was thin, cheap and probably full of toxic stuff.

This mattress is not very deep, like a regular size crib mattress but thicker than the flimsy "mattress" that came with the pack'n'play and our mini crib. The Naturepedic portacrib mattress feels sturdy and dense with just enough give to be comfy but not so much that it is dangerous for a baby to sleep on safely.

We have the full-size crib mattress also, and it is great, but our little one just never really slept well in the full-size crib. He prefers the mini crib. I'd recommend the naturepedic full-size crib mattress, if you are using a standard crib. Great quality, great fit and we love that it is organic and safe. Eventually he will use the bigger crib mattress when he moves into a toddler bed so I am glad we got it.

When we considered that our baby would be spending 15+ hours sleeping on his crib mattress, we wanted to make sure that the mattress was safe and non-toxic. Naturepedic offered the best quality, user-friendly product, at the most reasonable price, for us. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased. We recommend it to everyone who asks us about crib mattresses.

This arrived so quickly! I love that it's organic, and it seems like it's great quality, but I'm a little annoyed that it's advertised as a mattress when it's clearly not a mattress. It even says on its label that it's a pad. It's super thin, and I'm worried about whether or not it's going to be firm enough for a newborn. I know of no other options for mini crib mattresses that are organic (affordable or otherwise), so I might be stuck with this one. The fact that it's organic and free of dangerous chemicals is the reason I purchased it. I'm a nervous first-time mom, and I'm just not sure how I feel about this springless mattress pad as the primary surface for my baby to sleep on.

Want Naturepedic Organic Cotton Portacrib Mattress Discount?

We bought a full size Naturepedic organic mattress for our toddler's crib when he was born almost 2 years ago, and it's been the best purchase. So when shopping for a mattress for the mini-crib his sister will be sleeping in, I knew I wanted another Naturepedic. So many other organic mattresses are more expensive because they are made with wool and latex 2 things I happen to be allergic to. I liked that this one is made from something I feel is safe for my baby to sleep on, and I feel the price is fair after actually seeing how well it works in our crib.

This portacrib pad/mattress fits the DaVinci/Baby Mod mini cribs perfectly. Our mini crib came with a mattress that was horrible (although the cribs are great), it had gaps between the side and the mattress, and the mattress itself was flimsy and covered in vinyl. This Naturepedic mattress fits great, with a nice tight fit, and it's firm enough for a newborn. It's much sturdier and even half an inch thicker than the mattress provided by our crib manufacturer. I know some reviewers were worried that it's only 2 inches thick, and it's labeled as a "pad", but it is a mattress, and very high quality.

I highly recommend this mattress, and in case you're wondering, we've found that the Carter's Portacrib Sheets fit it perfectly.
